In this Q&A episode, we sit down with Chris and Clare, a married couple navigating very different faith journeys, to answer questions about conversion, returning to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, mixed-faith marriage, and family relationships. Clare is a former ex-Mormon who shares her journey of finding her way back to the Church, while Chris comes from a unique background of his own. His dad street-preached against the Church at the Mesa Easter Pageant, making Chris's eventual conversion story all the more interesting.

We dive into questions about what it feels like to return to church after being away, how to handle the fear of being judged, what led Chris to convert, how family and friends reacted to his decision, and how a couple navigates marriage when they don't share the same beliefs. We also talk about sobriety and faith, grief and finding your way back to God, preparing for and experiencing the temple for the first time, understanding temple garments and covenants, and how to maintain a loving relationship while respecting each other's personal agency.

Clare opens up about finding her way back to the Church after grief, personal struggles, and uncertainty, while Chris shares his journey from agnosticism to conversion in 2017. Together, they discuss the challenges of a mixed-faith marriage, navigating family relationships, overcoming fears about returning to church, and discovering what it means to put Jesus Christ at the center of their lives. Their honest conversation reminds us that faith is personal, love requires intention, and different spiritual journeys can still lead to a strong and loving marriage. Whether you're finding your way back to church, exploring faith for the first time, or navigating religious differences in your own family, this episode offers encouragement, understanding, and a reminder that God knows our hearts.

In todays episode we explore the extraordinary journey of Michaelle and Jevonne-a couple whose story weaves together love, struggle, revelation, and redemption.Their connection began as coworkers with an easy friendship, turning into a first date that felt like a movie: flowers, a teddy bear, an umbrella in the rain, and a haircut from the man who once proudly wore cornrows. But the heart of their story isn't just how they fell in love-it's how they stayed together.

Jevonne faced the heavy weight of past trauma-growing up in foster care, surviving abuse, and struggling with trust and self-worth. Even after baptism, old habits and despair pulled him into darkness. Through it all, Jevonne stood firm, seeking revelation daily and building a foundation of faith, even when betrayal and heartbreak tested her.

At the same time, Michaelle herself wrestled with questions about Blacks and the priesthood. Through prayer, fasting, and personal revelation, she received a profound testimony of God's equal and expansive love, which strengthened her faith and guided their family through trials.Their journey eventually led to a pivotal moment on the sidewalk outside their home: a simple, desperate prayer-iLord... if You can help me, I'll do whatever it takes." That prayer opened the door to repentance, healing, reconciliation, and the restoration of family.

Today, Michaelle and Jevonne use their story to uplift others, mentor couples, and speak openly about trauma, faith, and redemption. This episode is raw, honest, and inspiring-a witness that no one is too far gone and that God can build something stronger from the broken pieces.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Andrew to talk about his journey to faith and how coming to know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has impacted his life.

Andrew shares some of the challenges he faced before finding the Church, his experiences with addiction and personal growth, and the people who helped him along the way.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast! Today, I’m so excited for you guys to hear Daisy’s story because I think it’s such a beautiful reminder of how Heavenly Father works in each of our lives in different ways.

Daisy shares her journey of discovering The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, learning to recognize the Holy Ghost, and finding her own testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. What I love about her story is that it wasn’t just one big moment that brought her to the Church. It was a series of little experiences, friendships, and feelings that helped her realize Heavenly Father was guiding her, even before she fully understood it herself.

We talk about what it looks like to follow the Spirit when you have questions, how to work through doubts, and why it’s so important to gain your own personal testimony instead of relying on someone else’s. Because at the end of the day, our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is personal, and we each have to come to know for ourselves that the gospel is true.

Whether you’re a lifelong member of the Church, preparing for baptism, or just starting to learn about the restored gospel, I hope Daisy’s story reminds you that it’s okay to have questions, that Heavenly Father hears your prayers, and that He can guide you one step at a time.

“I am not going to fault the gospel of Jesus Christ on the actions of men.”

Those words from Yemi capture an important theme of his journey of faith: learning to separate the perfect gospel of Jesus Christ from the imperfect actions of people.

In this episode, we’re joined by Yemi to hear his inspiring journey from Nigeria to the United States and ultimately to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Raised in the Pentecostal tradition, Yemi had a strong belief in God and a love for scripture. But as he continued to study, pray, ask questions, and seek truth, the Lord began guiding him toward a deeper understanding of the restored gospel.

His journey wasn’t immediate or without challenges. Yemi encountered questions, doubts, and misconceptions about the Church. As an African American convert, he also shares what it has been like navigating questions of race, Church history, and identity while developing his testimony of Jesus Christ.

Throughout our conversation, Yemi talks about the power of prayer, scripture study, personal revelation, and patience in the conversion process. He shares how his testimony grew as he sought answers for himself and learned to trust the promptings of the Spirit.

We also talk about Yemi’s own podcast, All Are Alike Unto Him, where he explores faith, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the experiences of people from different backgrounds within the Church.

Yemi’s story is a powerful reminder that conversion is a personal journey. It takes faith to ask difficult questions, humility to seek answers, and patience to allow Heavenly Father to teach us “line upon line, precept upon precept.”

Whether you’re a lifelong member of the Church, a recent convert, someone considering baptism, or simply seeking to strengthen your relationship with Jesus Christ, Yemi’s story offers an important message: don’t let the imperfections of people keep you from seeking the perfect gospel of Jesus Christ.

Stevie’s journey is not a story of having all the answers from the beginning. It’s a story of asking hard questions, wrestling with doubts, experiencing deep personal struggles, and ultimately discovering for herself the truth and peace that come through the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

From a difficult childhood and questions about God and religion, to her journey toward the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Stevie shares what it was like to read the Book of Mormon, seek her own spiritual confirmation, and come to know Heavenly Father and the Savior in a deeply personal way.

But her story doesn’t end at baptism. Stevie also opens up about mental health, postpartum depression, suicidal thoughts, and the difficult process of reconciling faith with seasons when life feels overwhelming.

Her testimony is a beautiful reminder that having questions doesn’t mean we’ve lost our faith. Sometimes, those questions can lead us to seek, pray, study, and ultimately come to know the Savior for ourselves. And perhaps most importantly, Stevie shares what she has learned about the unconditional love of Heavenly Father and the healing power of Jesus Christ.

This is a story about finding light in dark places, trusting God one step at a time, and discovering that the Savior is there—even in the moments when we may feel furthest from Him.

“Today, I want to introduce you to someone really special—Chelsea Miller. Chelsea’s story is one that feels incredibly real because it’s not perfect or easy—it’s honest. It’s a journey filled with questions, hesitation, and moments where she had to decide what she truly believed, even when it felt uncomfortable or uncertain.

From the way she met her husband at Disneyland, to the quiet, personal moments where she wrestled with doubts and outside opinions, Chelsea’s path wasn’t something she rushed into.

As she began learning about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she faced a lot of unknowns—misconceptions, questions, and even fear about how her choices might be perceived by others.

But what makes Chelsea’s story so powerful is that, through all of that noise, she learned how to recognize the Spirit. Through sincere prayer, reading the Book of Mormon, and meeting with missionaries, she began to feel a confirmation that the gospel of Jesus Christ was true. Those weren’t loud, dramatic moments—but quiet, personal impressions that continued to guide her forward.

Even when fear crept in, especially around what others might think, she chose to trust those promptings. She chose to follow the Spirit.

Her decision to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wasn’t just a single moment—it was the result of a deeply personal conversion. A process of exercising faith in Jesus Christ, seeking truth, and gaining her own testimony of the plan of salvation and the Savior’s love for her.

Chelsea carries a quiet strength, and her story is a reminder that conversion is deeply personal. It often comes line upon line, as we choose to keep praying, keep seeking, and keep trusting the Spirit.

Today on The Convert Devotionals Podcast, we’re joined by Gavin Harris, who shares a powerful journey of faith, doubt, and spiritual transformation. Raised in a Pentecostal tradition, Gavin grew up with a sincere desire to connect with God, but over time found himself wrestling with deeper questions about truth, church authority, and the nature of God Himself.

His story takes a pivotal turn as he enters a season of faith crisis and begins exploring different Christian traditions and diving into ancient religious history. What starts as intellectual curiosity gradually becomes something more personal, as Gavin searches for what he calls “good fruit”—truth that is both spiritually and historically grounded.

It’s during this exact season of questioning that Gavin writes How the Holy Ghost Haunts: A Memoir, capturing his doubts, discoveries, and spiritual wrestlings in real time—before he ever makes the decision to be baptized.

That search eventually leads him to the Book of Mormon, where he encounters teachings that resonate in a way he didn’t expect. Through study, prayer, and meaningful conversations with missionaries, Gavin begins to feel a growing conviction.

He describes a moment of clarity similar to that of Joseph Smith—a moment where, in his own words, “I knew it, God knew it, and I could not deny it.” Just weeks later, he makes the decision to be baptized, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his faith.
